What we do

Because We Can is a Design-Build Studio that specializes in Sustainable Interior Design & Custom Furniture.

Because We Can, LLC is lead by a husband & wife team: Jeffrey McGrew and Jillian Northrup. With years of experience, a full in-house CNC production shop, great service, great people, too much creativity, and an special process that lets us make anything at the drop of a hat, we're well suited to help you with whatever project you've got. Jeffrey is single test away being able to call himself an 'Architect' instead of a 'Designer', while Jillian's background is in graphic design and photography, and she's soon to be going for her LEED certification.

Our goal is to make the world a more interesting, productive, sustainable, and overall better place.

We do a lot of interior design and creative build-outs, custom furniture designs, whole creative environments, various CNC fabrication and prototyping services, and we're just getting into designing and building whole ground-up buildings.

We've also designed a line of premium and sustainable products you can see on our on-line store

We make everything here in Oakland, CA.
